How can we help you?

To connect a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account to OpsNow FinOps Plus, you need to follow a step-by-step process that enables cost and usage data collection via BigQuery. The required steps are:

1. Create a BigQuery Dataset
   Set up a new dataset in BigQuery where GCP billing data will be exported.
2. Enable Billing Export and Required APIs
   In the GCP Billing menu, configure billing export to BigQuery and activate the BigQuery API and Cloud Billing API.
3. Create a Service Account
   Generate a service account with the necessary permissions to access the billing data stored in BigQuery.
4. Generate and Download the JSON Key
   Create a private key in JSON format for the service account and store it securely.
5. Upload the JSON Key to OpsNow Console
   Go to the [Cloud Accounts > GCP] menu in the OpsNow console and upload the JSON key file to complete the integration.

Once completed, OpsNow will automatically retrieve GCP cost and usage data, enabling detailed FinOps analysis and optimization.
